Adrian Grenier explains his reasons for Entourage film delay

By:

Oct 22, 2013

Actor Adrian Grenier has opened up about his hesitation to sign on for a planned movie adaptation of Entourage, insisting he has simply been trying to land fair deals for all the main cast members. Executive producer Mark Wahlberg recently revealed the film version of the hit TV series had stalled because some stars were being "greedy", demanding too much money to reprise their popular characters.
His comments came shortly after reports suggested Grenier and co-star Jerry Ferrara were the ones who had yet to sign contracts, and on Friday (18Oct13), The Devil Wears Prada actor took to his Instagram.com blog to shed some light on the claims.
In the note, Grenier, who played lead star, actor Vincent Chase, claimed he was not motivated by money and instead had been standing up for his co-stars to prevent producers from allegedly taking advantage of them.
He wrote, "To all Entourage fans. I owe it to you to make a couple things clear. I take my role as Vince on the show & off very seriously. All decisions I make personally and for business are for the principle of friendship and brotherhood. It has, & never will be about the money for me.
"I will always stand up for the boys... & do what I can to make sure they are treated fairly, and not be taken advantage of by anybody. The spirit of Entourage is about sharing the opportunities given to us and I will sign any deal that gives ALL the boys an opportunity to share in the upside of success EQUALLY. I assure you, despite the perception, there is no greed in my heart."
However, Grenier insists the film will get made, adding: "Remember, it will all work out in the end. It always does."
Fellow Entourage star Kevin Connolly has since assured fans that the project will go ahead, revealing on Sunday (20Oct13) that the movie is expected to start shooting in January (14).
Jeremy Piven and Kevin Dillon made up the rest of the main Entourage cast, which wrapped its final season on America's HBO network in 2011.

Production on the Entourage movie is set to begin in January (14), according to Kevin Connolly. Executive producer Mark Wahlberg recently revealed the film was on hold because some cast members were asking for too much money.
He told TMZ.com, "As soon as them (sic) guys stop being so greedy... It's the most I've ever been asked for a movie."
However, Connolly has revealed everyone is on board and ready to start filming.
He tells TMZ.com, "It's gonna happen... it's a complicated thing, but I'm in... everything is fine... everyone is in line, it's gonna (sic) be good, January we're gonna (sic) do it, not official, but it will be."
The TV drama featured Adrian Grenier, Connolly, Eric 'E' Murphy, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara and wrapped it's final season on America's HBO network in 2011.

A man has been charged with killing American footballer Adrian Peterson's young son. The sportsman's two-year-old boy, who has not been named, passed away on 11 October (13) following an alleged assault.
Joseph Patterson, 27, has now been charged with one count of second degree murder and two counts of first degree manslaughter, as well as aggravated battery of an infant and felony child abuse, according to TMZ.com.
Reports suggest Patterson was the boyfriend of the child's mother.

Much as he did with Moonrise Kingdom, Wes Anderson managed to make his next film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, without revealing a great dea; about the plot, characters, or accruing much hype at all. Sure, if you wanted to, you could find out that it's about the concierge, played by Ralph Fiennes, of a stately Hungarian hotel during the 1920s as he struggles to manage the issues of his guests, from art heists to mixed-up family fortunes (a familiar theme) and the young protegee he teaches (and, presumably, learns from) throughout. It's a mash-up of all his previous films in a way only Anderson could make exciting. Even the smallest change — say, setting the film in the '20s instead of the '60s/'70s — is a seismic one.
For a hard-core Anderson fan, there's a lot to take apart in this poster. First, the whole cast. Of course, there are repeat players, such as Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Adrian Brody, and Owen Wilson. Occasional players are also back for seconds, like Tilda Swinton and Edward Norton, returning after the success of Moonrise Kingdom. Surprisingly, this film was written solely by Anderson, who has always had a collaborator (most often Wilson or Roman Coppola, but also Noah Baumbach) on his last eight films.
Most of the poster is the hotel itself. It's enormous enough to be outfitted with plenty of oddities, specialized rooms, and secret passageways. It's grand enough to hear plenty of tales about famous guests (a few kings or queens, perhaps) but also looks new enough that the guests will be rich and demanding. In the background, there are soaring mountain views. Perched on the top of a peak is a stag, who should no doubt be either a symbol or a piece of the plot in this film.
Another suprise is the bold use of pink. Obviously the titular hotel had to be quirky, but pink is not only a bold choice, but an uncharacteristic color for a Wes Anderson film. Usually, Anderson works with yellows and browns, or, in The Life Aquatic and Rushmore, with blue. The color scheme of these films can suggest themes or ideas (the earthiness of Fantastic Mr. Fox, or the sepia nostalgia of The Royal Tenenbaums), but pink is bright, cheery, hardly what comes to mind when hearing "Post WWI Europe." Maybe this hotel will be a tiny pocket of Roaring '20s in a country ravaged by the war. Anderson often writes about privileged, overgrown rich kids who are forced to grow up (just look at The Darjeeling Limited).
Now it's time to excitedly wait for either a trailer or the official soundtrack — the only two things that could tell us more.

There's going to be a musical based on the first Rocky movie. You know, the one that launched Sylvester Stallone to superstardom. To that, I say, "Really?" This isn't just going to be some small, off-Broadway affair. No, this is going to be on Broadway, the big leagues. Again, I say, "Really?"
On the surface of it, it is an inspiring story that could be turned into a play. It's one of the ultimate underdog stories and there's one thing the Great White Way loves, it's tales of people coming back to beat some of the longest odds. But I'm not sure that this is one that should have been given the green light. There's just a lot of things working against it.
The thing that worries me the most is the boxing sequences. As a huge sports fan, I am ALWAYS gritting my teeth when I watch sports movies because real-life sports events are really hard to duplicate. That's when you have the budget and camerawork to make it look as realistic as possible. This is going to be on a stage and I have a bad, bad feeling that the boxing sequences are going to stink. I'm talking WWE-telegraphed punches. Running up a fake set of stairs to the top is also going to look really awkward. I don't know how Andy Karl is going to be when playing Balboa and I'm not sure he was the best pick for the role. I also think that there's not an actress that can really play the awkward and endearing role of Adrian like Talia Shire did.
Secondly... it's a musical! I think Burgess Meredith is up somewhere in heaven making a lot of angry noise about someone playing the role of Mickey and SINGING. "You're going to eat lightning and crap thunder!/Keep training, Rocky! You'll rend Apollo Creed asunder!"
Of course, if they don't have the orchestra play the main Rocky theme at the beginning, then everyone in the theater should just get up and walk out. That should be a given right there and they might as well have Survivor play "Eye of the Tiger" (Yes, yes, I know that was from Rocky III. It's not like the band is doing anything now).
I'm giving this play a standing eight-count already. Really.

For urban creatures of the night — I'm referring here to Eighties club kids — The Hunger was the be-all and end-all. It so captured the sexuality of the post-punk zeitgeist, it put director Tony Scott on the map. But there's another flick for vamp majors obsessed with a complete education, from another director you may have heard of, Kathryn Bigelow.
The characters of Near Dark are the poor relations of Scott's upper-class predators. But they have something The Hunger completely passes over: American-outlaw-blue-collar hotness. The film quietly seethes with a swagger that can only be described as Western. It is wild, unkempt, brutal and appealing, an intergenerational drawing match over sex and supremacy. It is sexy, down to the bone, pure Cowboy Punk.
Jenny Wright and Adrian Pasdar play out an undead Romeo and Juliet story so scorching you won't know where to look first. She's lonely, she turns him, but her posse is pissed. They reluctantly take in the small town boy, and careen through the desert in an RV with blackened windows, part man cave, part coffin, on a sociopathic Kerouac road trip.
You can certainly rent it. But I suggest a permanent download.

One of the most laugh-out loud shows is back on the air. I'm talking about The League. It's definitely a show for adults, so make sure the kids are asleep or you run the risk of having to explain certain bodily functions a long time before you were ready to.
The premise of the show is simple: A group of friends who play fantasy football together navigate life's weird situations.The cast of characters include an overly-laid back guy who is still searching for love, a husband and wife who go to great lengths to beat each other in fantasy football, a lawyer who has a wife who is way out of his *ahem* league, a dermatologist who has huge self-esteem issues and a stoner.
Pro athletes often make cameos on the show. For instance, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and his wife, Kristen Cavallari, have appeared this season to continue a storyline from last year. Previous guests have included Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and several Dallas players. Non-athlete guest stars have included Seth Rogen, who plays a porn director. Andy Roddick's wife, swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, even had a recurring role. Yes, I told you: Make sure the little ones are in bed before watching.
What I love about the series is that it's semi-scripted with a ton of it being ad-libbed. That lends an authenticity to the conversations, rather than a scripted feel. I'm also a huge fantasy football player, but the show doesn't pander only to that crowd. There's plenty of scenarios that revolve around real life and the happenings of families. There are a ton of 'No...they didn't!' moments. The actors themselves aren't that well-known, though Katie Aselton did star in Black Rock, a horror film, last summer and Nick Kroll has his own show on Comedy Central. You don't feel like any particular one eclipses the other, though.
Definitely add this one to your starting lineup.

Whoever said that the best things in life are free must've been jamming to a mixtape. The joy of trying to save cassette tape from being eaten up by a 1988 stereo may have passed us by, but digital mixtapes still have the best components of their predecessors: free samples of new music from our favorite artists. There’s only a few months left of the year and artists releasing new mixtapes will have a lot to live up to, since 2013 saw the release of tons of great new music in the hip hop world. The latest mixtape to hit the web waves is Lil Wayne’s Dedication 5, finally released on September 1 after a 36-hour delay. Though it’s too soon to say how well Lil Wayne’s newest effort will hold up against other releases slated to come out this year, here’s a rundown of some of 2013’s best mixtapes thus far.
Yelawolf: Trunk Muzik Returns After his 2011 debut album Radioactive, Yelawolf came back with a vengeance (and a killer beard). Produced entirely by WillPower, Trunk Muzik Returns features Yelawolf’s trademark polished, 100mph flow set against some of the most refreshing beats that have been heard in rap lately. With contributions from A$AP Rocky, Raekwon, Paul Wall, and more, it’s safe to say Trunk Muzik has most definitely made its return.
Standouts: “Firestarter,” “F.A.S.T. Ride,” “Catfish Billy”
Harry Fraud: Adrift After working with French Montana for the infectious “New York Minute,” wonderboy producer Harry Fraud quickly rose to become one of the most sought-after producers in the hip hop scene. He released Adrift in March 2013 as a prequel to his High Tide EP, which was released a month later. The mixtape is a diverse compilation of songs that Fraud produced over the last year, showing his prowess as a producer and his knack for putting a NYC stamp on everything he does. Adrift features unreleased tracks from numerous rappers, including Chinx Drugz, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, and tons more.
Standouts: French Montana – “Lay Low,” Young Roddy – “4 The Money,” Adrian Lau – “Sunday”
Big K.R.I.T.: King Remembered In Time Who knew electric guitars and crying babies could make for a kickass album intro? Big K.R.I.T., that’s who. The Southern rapper dropped King Remembered In Time earlier this year to rave reviews and is continuing to carve out place for himself in the rap world. Big K.R.I.T. has already proven that he’s rather ambitious when it comes to sampling and King Remembered In Time is no different: the mixtape has samples from everyone from James Blake to Cody ChestnuTT working seamlessly against his skillful spits. King Remembered In Time features the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Trinidad Jame$, Ashton Jones, and Future.
Standouts: “REM,” “Serve This Royalty,” “Life Is A Gamble”
Chance the Rapper: Acid Rap At only 20 years old, Chance the Rapper has already made an impressive mark in the rap world. The former suspended-from-high-school student turned Chi-town rapper has a uniquely chameleon vocal delivery that changes as quickly as a teenager’s mood. Chance sounds like a nervous first-timer at open mic night, a Tiny Toons character with an overabundant helium supply, and a matter-of-fact raconteur all within the thirteen-song mixtape. Including kickass collabs with Action Bronson, Nate Fox, and Noname Gypsy, Acid Rap is definitely one of the mixtapes of the year.
Standouts: “Juice,” “Acid Rain”
The Underachievers: Indigoism Repping the Beast Coast movement strong is Issa Dash and AK, aka The Underachievers. The Brooklyn duo started to drop tracks in 2012 on YouTube and signed with Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder record label not too long after. Their debut mixtape, Indigoism, was released in February of this year and firmly put The Underachievers on map of new NYC talent to look out for. The lauded Indigoism is full of conscious, spiritual, and hard rhymes, all spat out at 500 words per minute (because really, who needs breathing?).
Standouts: “So Devilish,” “Herb Shuttles,” “Land of Lords”

After Dark Films
It seems a bit odd to take on a movie review of Courtney Solomon's Getaway, as only in the loosest terms is Getaway actually a movie. We begin without questions — other than a vague and frustrating "What the hell is going on?" — and end without answers, watching Ethan Hawke drive his car into things (and people) for the hour and a half in between. We learn very little along the way, probed to engage in the mystery of the journey. But we don't, because there's no reason to.
There's not a single reason to wonder about any of the things that happen to Hawke's former racecar driver/reformed criminal — forced to carry out a series of felonious commands by a mysterious stranger who is holding his wife hostage — because there doesn't seem to be a single ounce of thought poured into him beyond what he see. We learn, via exposition delivered by him to gun-toting computer whiz Selena Gomez, that he "did some bad things" before meeting the love of his life and deciding to put that all behind him. Then, we stop learning. We stop thinking. We start crashing into police cars and Christmas trees and power plants.
Why is Selena Gomez along for the ride? Well, the beginnings of her involvement are defensible: Hawke is carrying out his slew of vehicular crimes in a stolen car. It's her car. And she's on a rampage to get it back. But unaware of what she's getting herself into, Gomez confronts an idling Hawke with a gun, is yanked into the automobile, and forced to sit shotgun while the rest of the driver's "assignments" are carried out. But her willingness to stick by Hawke after hearing his story is ludicrous. Their immediate bickering falls closer to catty sexual tension than it does to genuine derision and fear (you know, the sort of feelings you'd have for someone who held you up or forced you into accessorizing a buffet of life-threatening crimes).
After Dark Films
The "gradual" reversal of their relationship is treated like something we should root for. But with so little meat packed into either character, the interwoven scenes of Hawke and Gomez warming up to each other and becoming a team in the quest to save the former's wife serve more than anything else as a breather from all the grotesque, impatient, deliberately unappealing scenes of city wreckage.
And as far as consolidating the mystery, the film isn't interested in that either, as evidenced by its final moments. Instead of pressing focus on the answers to whatever questions we may have, the movie's ultimate reveal is so weak, unsubstantial, and entirely disconnected to the story entirely, that it seems almost offensive to whatever semblance of a film might exist here to go out on this note. Offensive to the idea of film and story in general, as a matter of fact. But Getaway isn't concerned with these notions. Not with story, character, logic, or humanity. It just wants to show us a bunch of car crashes and explosions. So you'd think it might have at least made those look a little better.
1/5

Veteran rocker Trent Reznor is adamant he harbours no grudge against his former bandmates Eric Avery and Adrian Belew for walking out of Nine Inch Nails. Former Jane's Addiction star Avery quit in May (13) to concentrate on other projects and told fans he had "very mixed emotions" about his decision.
Weeks later in June (13), Belew also left the group after less than four months, saying his place in the line-up "didn't work", but Reznor insists he is still friends with his ex-bandmates and their departures were amicable.
He tells Mojo magazine, "It really came down to chemistry. I'm delicately addressing this matter because I wish it would have worked out but it just didn't. What's happened is for the best. As far as I'm concerned there's no ill will there."
